Welcome to Part Two of "Morning Rituals"!

Earlier this week, I chatted with my health buddy Rachelle Atkinson about "Morning Rituals". You can check out that conversation below....

Today, the conversation shifted to "morning rituals" for moms, or if mornings aren't naturally your jam.

I'm getting some valuable perspective from Alisha Hunt - one of my awesome team members for the "Naked Retreats".  Alisha is a yoga instructor, mom of two awesome munchkins and super smart on all things health. 

What I'm loving in these two conversations is that there are so many ways to get to the same place.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, it doesn't have to take forever to do your morning ritual, and it's all about getting in touch with what works for you and helps you shine!

Do you have a daily practice in the morning that creates some awesome morning mojo?

If you're like many of us, a typical pattern is to roll out of bed, grab a cup of coffee and dive right into all the demands and stressors of the day. 

Our subconscious mind is programmed toward old thoughts and emotional patterns of stress, anxiety or lack, so unless we "catch" those toxic thoughts or emotions right as we're waking up, they will literally RUN our day. 

How do we get out of these old thought patterns and create lasting change?

From a scientific standpoint, there are two times in the day where your brain's neuroplasticity is at its peak - meaning the brain is most open to change.

One such time is right as you're waking up in the morning. 

So rather than waking up and tuning into an old thought pattern or emotional stressor, consider something new. 

Morning Ritual = a daily morning routine that sets you up for an awesome day - physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually 

Mornings are like the rudder on a ship. They have the power to steer your ship in the direction you want to create, resulting in the destination that is in alignment with your truest self.

In part one of this two part series, I'm chatting with a soul-sister and colleague, Rachelle Atkinson - Yoga & Nutrition Therapist, and iRest practitioner. 

Rachelle and I took a girl-trip/work-trip to Santa Fe, NM earlier this month, and one of the things we noticed is that we both have a daily "morning ritual" we love - but our rituals are a bit different from each others based on our physical constitution, lifestyle and unique needs.

We thought it would be fun to record a conversation sharing about our "morning rituals" - the what + why + the how of this practice. 

Hopefully the takeaway is that you if you don't yet have a "morning ritual" you LOVE, perhaps you'll glean some ideas from this audio.

Clear Your Blocks To Effortless Health by Anna King

I truly hope that so far your Christmas has been merry & bright - but if your inner emotional landscape has sadness, grief, longing, or ache in it rather than excitement, joy, or peace.... this audio is for you. 

Speaking as one with a history of being a "chronic stuffer" of emotions, I had to learn through trial and error what the heck to do with those seemingly "inconvenient" emotions when they arise.

Especially right around the holidays when we feel that we "should" be emitting peace on earth and good will toward men. :)

I hope that if you're needing extra support, this audio will resonate.
